Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and grease and flour a 9x9 inch cake pan.
Melt vegan chocolate, sugar, and coconut oil over low-medium heat in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add apple sauce and melted chocolate mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
Spread mixture into cake pan.
Bake in oven for 30 minutes, testing with a toothpick to ensure they are done. Remove from oven and allow to fully cool before cutting into squares.
Brownies will keep in an air tight container for up to 1 week.
1) Coconut oil can be substituted with an equal amount of melted vegan butter or margarine.2) I prefer using whole wheat flour but it can be substituted with all-purpose flour as well.
